SPRING TERM:
What a snowy start to our new Spring Term! As we start off 2026, we have lots of brilliant learning opporunities to look forward to and we'll continue to share our important big focus - Kindness - as we follow the 'Golden Rule' of treating others how we wish to be treated. Every Tuesday, we have Class Worship celebrations in which we explore God's Big Story and make reflections on our own journeys of faith.
During each half term, we will be looking forward to brand new topics in each subject and on March 3rd, we will be visiting the RAF museum in Cosford. Please see the attached Long Term Plan (in the files section), which details which areas we will be learning about in each subject.
Outdoor PE - lessons on Monday afternoons will focus on the skills of Tag Rugby and Athletics. (Hocky and Netball were covered last term with our Thrive coaches).
Indoor PE- hall sessions on Friday afternoons will cover Dance and Gymnastics.
Homework:
Many of the children produced some excellent homework last term. They ought to be very proud of all their efforts.
In addition to homework tasks, children should be reading either by themselves or with an adult every night (or as often as possible). Please sign your child's planner on a weekly basis.
Children also have the statutory spelling lists in their planners. The national expectation is for children to be able to spell these words correctly by the end of Year 4. Sometimes, playing extra spelling games at home can really help spelling patterns and rules to sink in.
Our Class Favourite Reads book will continue to be circulated over the term. This invites individuals to create a book review of their favourite book that can be shared with their classmates. There were some brilliant suggestions of books last term. Thank you.
Times Tables Check:
As you know, all children in Year 4 are required to pass the MTC in the Summer Term. To help to prepare your child for this test, please encourage them to spend time at home on the TTRS site. It is such a useful website in building speed and confidence with times tables - especially those tricky ones, like 6s, 7s and 8s. Many children have achieved the 'Gone Green' status, meaning that they know all their times table facts and can recall them under 4 seconds. Now that's impressive!
Parents' Consultations: W/C: 16/03/26
Parents are invited to make in-person appointments with either Mrs Stonier or Mrs Payne on the dates available. More information about when and how to book will be shared nearer the time.
We look forward to another jam-packed yet enjoyable half term ahead in Class 4.
As always, many thanks for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs D Stonier and Mrs R Payne
